Although the h" x 2" through-mortises were made on the legs with a straightforward series of cuts with a V2" mortising chisel, the through-tenons required some attention to detail. After cutting the tenons on the ends of the legs to fit the mortises, I determined that a 14° bevel would give me an 1/s"-high pyramidal top. The tenon is sized to allow for an Vs" vertical rise above the top before transition-ing into the slopes. I like the look, and it's more forgiving than trying to align four pyramid bases exactly with the tabletop. The stretchers are joined with a simple half lap. The ends of the through-tenons are chamfered at a 45° angle. I then pegged each tenon using 3/s" cherry dowels through 23/64" holes after slightly tapering the ends of the dowels. With the holding power of contemporary glues, they're only for show anyway. Speaking of show, the corbels that "support" the top are structurally unnecessary to this project. Visually, however, they're the icing on the cake. Glue them in place and clamp them up. To mount the globe on the stand, you need to cut two 1/4"-long x 1/4"-deep notches in the inner edge of the ring. Rather ARTS & CRAFTS GLOBE STAND
than setting up my router and a jig for the operation, I chucked a y4" Forstner bit into my drill press, made a VV-deep hole that was tangent to the inner edge, and squared up the bore with a sharp utility knife. See the photo at left for details. Because cherry darkens quickly enough through oxidation and exposure to ultraviolet rays, I used a clear wipe-on oil finish to emphasize the contrast between the end grain of the through-tenons and pegs and the face grain of the legs and top. If you've got 'em, you might as well flaunt 'em.
